Rovers 1-0 Bohs

[Red&White Rover]

great result! goal for hughesy i think! not exactly a good performance but we got the result! roll on Cork

[gustavo]

Sign of a good team isnt it what they say can win
without playing well , Well done the lads in the Blue stand and the Shed for the singing just one thing , when you hear English fans chant "Red Army" they chant it in an English accent because they are English so I dont know why the English accent is copied!

[Red&White Rover]

well i usually go to the shed but arrived there today and it was the worse i've ever seen it TBH(like a funeral) so myself and me mates decided to go blue stand. was very good atmosphere there to be fair! but a few points about it.

1.not the same singing sitting down(so we stood at the back)
2.not the same with seats in the way, ya need open space to jump about and go f**kin mental!
3.not a good a vantage point as the shed IMO

next i will go to the shed again, buyt i plead, the people who make the atmosphere in the blue stand come over to the shed!:cool:

[red bellied]

As a former shed head looking in tonight there was a good buzz in the Showgrounds tonight but u can't compare it to games gone by. The Rovers is a different scene today. Since the heady days of Mc Stay, Scanchez and Cotterill has there been another manager to compare them? Is Connor even in the same league? Is this the luckiest rovers side to ever set foot in the Showgrounds?

[gustavo]

Sanchez's record at rovers was
p33 w 12 d 7 l14 f 43a-42 pt 43
seans so far this season is
p21 w10 d5 l6 f 27 a 24 pt35
So to suggest that Sean isnt in the same league as him is a bit much

[red bellied]

Well thats hardly a combination of the three but in relation to Scanchezs season in the Showgrounds this season wouldnt of got a look in.

[gustavo]

In what way ?

[Jeebus]

Jeez Gustavo at least the lads who where there tonight were singing, no offense but i really can't stand people who think they know it all i been going to Rovers for years a lot longer than you and i have never heard this so called chant done with an english accent. Well done to all tonight my Father came back and told the atmosphere was great in there and so did my mate so well done and great to get another 3 points. Mate told me best atmosphere in years.

p.s. Not trying to start a argument i just dont like somebody who sits on their hands for a game having a go at people who dont and who go and try to create one.

I told ya before RT, you need to lose that english accent you picked up when you were accross the water at college!!!!:)

[Red&White Rover]

Blue stand is far better craic imo and that is where we should head to from now on, i was there last night but from the people i spoke said the atmosphere was very good, anyway the view is far surperior in the Jinks than the shed.

i still reckon its better in the shed when its not like a funeral...i hate havin seats in the way cause i stand up. TBH.

when you hear English fans chant "Red Army" they chant it in an English accent because they are English so I dont know why the English accent is copied!

:confused: :confused: :confused:

[gustavo]

:confused: :confused: :confused:

its just my opinion that the Red Army Red Army chant is done in an english accent thats alll

[The Stars]

i agree with gus on this one,but i dont sing it in an english accent.

[sligobhoy67]

Its not an uncommon occurance - I watch Celtic games in the pub hear in England and many English Celtic fans sing with an Irish accent.

Its only a little thing and and its a bit petty to slag off fans sing for not prouncing a harsh R in army

[Rovers1]

anyway back to football.....very sloppy disorganised performance.burnsy was the only decent performer. O'Grady was shocking at times last nite..but we'll forgive him for that.bohs are a very good team and we're doin well to grind out results against them,were a team well able to qualify for europe and we're well able to beat Cork. :)

[The Stars]

McNamara was shocking i thought.Burnsy carries him so much.
Cash wasnt at the races either.McT was brillinat when he came on and should start against Cork now.He wins free kicks which we are become quite handy at and isnt caught offside half as much as Mansaram and Cash.
Harpal was exceptional again.what a player.covered Foy from the constint attacks down that side.

[red bellied]

Good result last night but there was one main difference between the teams Bohs could knock it around, we couldnt string two passes together. Faz is a good footballer but lacks confidence or maybe he doesnt have the bottle for it. Hopefully Mc Tiernan has match fitness and able to start for the Cork game, great run that led to the free kick for the goal. Flashes shot that hit the crossbar was a rocket, they must have shook for a least a minute afterwards, never seen anything like it.

[red arrow]

we did' nt perform great on the night. i am a bit worried why sean persists in playing turner at right full when peers was available. we lost it out in midfield and if he had moved turner in earlier we would have being much stronger. connor o grady has a very poor ist touch at times however overall he is having a great season. we should play the ball on the ground more to many high balls for mansaram . cash didnt do much. mct again did very well and should start against cork. faz had poor game (but i will forgive him) as he is a confidence player (red his player profile in program. once again ohara was outstanding as was burns. mcnanara very slow at times. hughes worked hard as did harpil. was choice on the bench? i think this guy should be brought in more big and strong. if he is not getting more play he will get fed up. still great to get 3 points. however we havent played exceptionally well in our last 3 games and we have the luck but we need to play more ground football. good crowd there tonite and good atmosphere. i was in the new stand and blue stand made much more noise. no disrespect to shed. both of yee should get togeather and then more people would follow. we all support the one team . anyway congrats on the effort. roll on tuesday

[The Stars]

i think its good now how there are 2 singing sections,rather than just the shed.if people want to sing they can choose which one they want....like say if they dont like the shedheads or vice versa.
it should look good on ELW tomorrow(if they show it)
all we need now is a group to get going in the main stand and were laughing.having said that fair play to them for getting the "Rovers" chant going a few times last night.

[Fivesilver]

Exactly. And all the better if there were three or four. If you don't want to go to the Shed or the blue stand, don't waste your breath whingeing about it. Go to the other one and make some noise.

[sligoman]

Terrible performance. We really need to improve on that if we wanna finish 4th. O'Grady was shocking as was Faz(it's gone beyond a joke now, no more excuses!). McTiernan did very well when he came on, deserves to start against Cork, Harpal and Foy did well too. McNamara was dodgy, luckily Burns was alongside him. O'Hara kept us in the game loads of times once again!

Great atmosphere but have to feel sorry for Bohs not getting any points in the end.

[gustavo]

McT was good but looked quite unfit Burnsy was legendary as usual

[sligoman]

Pics from the game are on the Rovers site already.

What accent do you sing with at the games??? Ya don’t sing, or do ya? If not don’t criticise those who make an effort, if you would like come over tomorrow night & demonstrate how it should sound you should.
Is it a Sligo thing or do fans at all clubs knock their own like this?

[SligoBrewer]

the shed really picked up in the 2nd half..

got sick off matty and the drums, the same thing again and again really wrecks your head

[Bravo]

The reason People started going to the Blue stand was 1.A high concentration of A55holes in the shed (NOT EVERYONE) 2. They created Hassle over the Drums/Boudhran in the Showgrounds, Monaghan, Richmond & the Brandywell.

Never said I was critizising just pointing out something no need to get on your high horse.

[Bravo]

If that’s the case you should be more tactful (imo an observer who complains is criticising) I took it as negative criticism & the natural thing to do is to become defensive. In future leave the music critic to the likes of Tom Dunne, Dave Fanning (the people who get paid to criticise)!

Unfortunately TV3 turn down the crowd noise etc to add in their own voiceover.

The dull monotone of some Dublin gobshiite !

2. They created Hassle over the Drums/Boudhran in the Brandywell.
The didn't created Hassle in the Brandywell over them FACT I witnessed it all I'll think you'll find it was the other way around...

You're doing it your self…. we're all on the same side I'm totally against all this cyber name calling it a very immature attitude it will only damage our club we're not PSG fans. We need to stick together for the good of Sligo Rovers

So the man with the drum was complaining about it:confused: :p

God almighty - what are people coming to the Showgrounds for, silent contemplation?
If people think a constant drumbeat - or any other noise for that matter - is annoying, then, in a football ground context, would the solution be:
a) Tell the people responsible to be quiet?
or
b) Make loads of noise yourself and encourage others to do the same, so that the drum or whatever wouldn't sound out of place?

[Hint: it's not a]

[BohsFans]

Hughes goal from the other night is herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSUYwrlUoCc

Look at the wall, Wardy goes to swap with Joxer, Joxer says no, Wardy moves to the end of the wall and the ball goes over Joxers head. :mad:

[Redzer]

So the man with the drum was complaining about it:confused: :p

I dont know what the man with the drum was complaining about. But the Derry stewards moved in on him. One on each side, and another behind me watching him closely. To me he looked to be p*ssed out of his mind. Whatever the stewards said to him quitened him, I dont think it was anything anyone else said.

i was singing!!!
i just like a bit of variety thats all...

the drum when played for non stop, does annoy you.
occasionally when everyone is singing, it does work

[BohsFans]

one of your stewards certainly went down well with the travelling army ;)
Fair play!
